Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer.  There is no need to run 
Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.  
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM.  
This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad.  In this case, the system 
cannot retain configuration values in CMOS.  
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files.  The system reboots immediately after 
you exit Setup.

The system supports two BIOS Utility levels:  Basic and Advanced.  The above screen is the BIOS Utility Basic 
Level screen.  It allows you to view and change only the basic configuration of your system.  
If you are an advanced user, you may want to check the detailed configuration of your system.  Detailed 
system configurations are contained in the Advanced Level.  To view the Advanced Level menu, press F8 or 
the Alt + F4 keys simultaneously.
NOTE: The F8 and Alt + F4 keys work only when you are in the main menu.   This means that you can activate

Hard Disk LBA Mode    Set to “Auto” under DOS and Windows. Set to 
“Disabled” under Novell Netware and Unix. Auto or Disabled
Hard Disk Block Mode  This function enhances disk performance depending 
on the hard disk in use.  If you set this parameter to 
Auto, the BIOS utility automatically detects if the 
installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode 
function.  If supported, it allows data transfer in blocks 
(multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle.  
Auto or Disabled
Hard Disk 32-bit Access  Enabling this parameter improves system

under DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, Windows 
NT, and Novell NetWare. 
Enabled or Disabled
Advanced PIO Mode When set to Auto, the BIOS utility automatically 
detects if the installed hard disk supports the function, 
it allows for faster data recovery and read/ write 
timing that reduces hard disk activity time.  This 
results in better hard disk performance.
Auto, Mode 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4
DMA Transfer Mode The Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes enhance hard 
disk performance by increasing the transfer rate.  
However, besides enabling these features in the

The PnP/PCI Options menu allows you to specify the settings for your PCI devices.  Selecting this option 
displays the following screen:
The following table describes the parameters found in this sub-menu.  
Parameter Description Options
PCI IRQ Setting Select Auto to let BIOS automatically configure the plug-
and-play (PnP) devices installed in your system. 
Otherwise, select Manual. 
Note: Refer to your PCI card manual for technical 
information. 
Auto or Manual
PCI Slot 1 When you set the PCI IRQ Setting parameter to Auto, 
these parameters specify the auto-assigned interrupt for 
each of the PCI devices. If you set the PCI IRQ Setting 
parameter to Manual, you need to specify the interrupt 
that you want to assign for each PCI device installed in 
your system. 
User input
PCI IRQ Sharing Setting this parameter to Yes allows you to assign the 
same IRQ to two different devices. To disable the 
feature, select No. 
Note: If there are no IRQs available to assign for the 
remaining device function, we recommend that you 
enable this parameter. 
Yes or No
VGA Palette Snoop This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping 
feature if you installed more than one VGA card in the 
system. The VGA palette snoop function allows the 
control palette register (CPR) to manage and update the 
VGA RAMDAC (Digital Analog Converter, a color data 
storage) of each VGA card installed in the system. The 
snooping process lets the CPR send a signal to all the 
VGA cards so that they can update their individual 
RAMDACs. The signal goes through the cards 
continuously until all RAMDAC data has been updated. 
This allows the display of multiple images on the screen. 
Note: Some VGA cards have required settings for this 
feature. Check your VGA card manual before setting this 
parameter.

highest is 256 MB. 
User input
Plug and Play OS When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS initializes only 
PnP boot devices such as SCSI cards. When set to No, 
BIOS initializes all PnP boot and non-boot devices such 
as sound cards. 
Note: Set this parameter to Yes only if your operating 
system is Windows 95/98/2000. 
Yes or No
Reset Resource 
Assignments
Set this parameter to Yes to avoid IRQ conflict when 
installing non-PnP or PnP ISA cards. This clears all

system boots. After clearing the resource data, the 
parameter resets to No.

Troubleshooting

72 Chapter 4
Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the Power-on Self  Test (POST) is initiated.  Several items are tested during 
POST, but is for the most part transparent to the user.
The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and diagnoses the 
system components, and controls the operation of  the power-on password option.  If POST discovers errors in 
system operations at power-on, it displays error messages on screen, generates a check point code at port 
80h or even halts the system if the error is fatal.
The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system 
functionality are as follows:
!Microprocessor with built-in numeric co-processor and cache memory subsystem
!Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller 
!Interrupt system 
!Three programmable timers 
!ROM subsystem
!RAM subsystem
!RTC RAM subsystem and real time clock/calendar with battery backup
!Onboard serial interface controller
!Onboard parallel interface controller
!Embedded hard disk interface and one diskette drive interface
!Keyboard and auxiliary device controllers
!I/O ports
!  PS/2-compatible mouse port
!  PS/2-compatible keyboard port
!Serial ports
!Parallel ports
!USB port 

Chapter 4 73
POST Error Messages List
If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use “POST Error 
Messages List” to diagnose system problems.  If you did not receive any error message, look for a description 
of your error symptoms in “Error Symptoms List” on page 75.
NOTE: When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run a total 
system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change. This system check can 
be done through the diagnostics program.
NOTE: Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the main board. Also 
check the power supply voltages if you have a “system no-power” condition. 
If you are unable to correct the problem by using the “BIOS Messages List” table and “Error Symptoms List” 
table, go to “Undetermined Problems” on page 79.
NOTE: To diagnose a problem, first find the BIOS error messages in the left column. If directed to a check 
procedure, replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check  procedure is indicated, the 
first Action/FRU listed in right column is the most likely cause.
